What Clients Have Said
Ahmad Hafizuddin
Business owner · Kuala Lumpur
"The written matter assessment I received before we filed anything was genuinely useful. It named the weaknesses in my position plainly, which allowed me to make a properly informed decision. The matter settled after the demand letter — I never needed to go to court."
Pre-Action Advisory · March 2025
Lim Wei Chong
Director · Petaling Jaya
"A partnership dissolution that the other side was making unnecessarily complicated. The written status notes after each court appearance kept me informed without requiring me to chase for updates. The fee stages were clearly set out — I always knew what was coming."
Commercial Dispute · February 2025
Siti Rahimah
Contract manager · Shah Alam
"I came in with a contract dispute I was not sure had strong prospects. The assessment was honest about the gaps in my position. We still proceeded, and the matter ultimately resolved before trial. What I valued most was that nothing about the costs or timeline surprised me."
Commercial Dispute · January 2025
Ravindran Muthu
Sole proprietor · Selangor
"A debt recovery matter involving a former business partner who contested everything. The advocate's knowledge of interlocutory procedure moved things forward when the other side was stalling. We obtained judgment and the award has now been partially enforced."
Debt Recovery · December 2024
Nurul Kamariah
Company secretary · Kuala Lumpur
"We engaged Teguh for a judicial review against a regulatory authority decision. The written grounds analysis was careful and the submissions before the court were focused on the two strongest arguments rather than trying to cover everything. The application succeeded."
Judicial Review · March 2025
Tan Hock Seng
Property developer · Johor Bahru
"The Court of Appeal appeal was handled with care. What impressed me was the drafting of submissions — concise and well-structured, not the usual sprawl of grounds. The advocate knew the record and it showed during the hearing. The appeal was allowed on both grounds argued."
Court of Appeal · February 2025
Illustrative Case Outcomes
How Matters Have Progressed
The following are anonymised summaries of concluded matters. All identifying details have been removed.
Case Study — Commercial Dispute
The Position at Instruction
A director sought assistance after a business partner of seven years had ceased contributing to operations while continuing to draw salary and distributions. The shareholders agreement lacked a clear provision for this situation. There were funds due and a dispute over whether removal was procedurally available.
How the Matter Was Handled
A pre-action assessment identified that the agreement, while unclear on removal, supported a claim for breach of fiduciary duty and recovery of distributions paid without board approval. A letter of demand was prepared setting out the basis of the claim. The counterparty engaged solicitors and negotiations followed over six weeks.
Outcome
The matter resolved by negotiated settlement, with the counterparty agreeing to relinquish directorship and return a portion of the disputed distributions. Court proceedings were not necessary. The matter concluded within three months of the initial instruction.
Case Study — Appeal
The Position at Instruction
A client had obtained judgment in the Sessions Court for a debt claim but the defendant had appealed. The appeal ground, broadly stated, was that the Sessions Court judge had erred in her assessment of the documentary evidence and drawn incorrect inferences from the chain of payments.
How the Matter Was Handled
The written analysis of the Sessions Court judgment identified that the grounds of appeal were arguable on one point but weak on the others. The respondent's submissions were focused on demolishing the strongest ground. The Court of Appeal was invited to dismiss on the basis that the Sessions Court's approach to the documents was well within range.
Outcome
The appeal was dismissed. The Sessions Court judgment was upheld in full. The appellate court awarded costs against the appellant. The judgment debt and costs were subsequently enforced through garnishee proceedings against the defendant's bank account.
Case Study — Judicial Review
The Position at Instruction
A company had applied for a licence renewal that was refused by the relevant authority on grounds that were, in the client's view, inconsistent with the authority's stated policy and the reasons given in similar cases where renewal had been approved.
How the Matter Was Handled
An application for leave to apply for judicial review was filed within the applicable time limit. The leave application identified the specific ground of inconsistency and exhibited comparator decisions. Leave was granted. The substantive hearing was confined to two grounds, supported by written submissions that addressed the authority's claimed statutory discretion.
Outcome
The High Court quashed the authority's decision and ordered a fresh determination to be conducted consistently with the authority's published policy. The licence was subsequently renewed following the remitted determination.
